"The city of living and dead: Archeology (re)builds our past" by Marcello Barbanera Curator of "La Forza delle Rovine"/ The Strength of Ruins

A excerpt of the article about my piece: 

 

"This is what suggests the poetic installation of Camila Salame 'Maison pour rêver' (2013.) On a pile of grains lays a tiny house built with beeswax, excellent construction substance. The transformation of this raw material created by bees for building, makes the work symbol of a solid construction. The small house recalls the geometric structure of a beehive; when you collect the honey the hive is destroyed, there are only its ruins lefts, yet this with the material that a new home is built. Similarly archeology destroys and rebuilds with the same materials: disrupts the secular sedimentation of men and this penetrating into the bowels of the earth, bringing to light the mutilated, but priceless, remains of the past, the unconscious of humanity; then archeology reassembles them, as a psychoanalyst, giving word even absences. Those mutilated remains preserve the tinges of memory and recomposed allow to tell a story"
